La Jolla Eyelid Surgery doctors

You have what is called Enophthalmos, where the eye falls back into the orbit as a result of trauma - most commonly an orbital floor fracture. There are surgeries to correct this by adding to the orbit and reducing the volume so the eye matched the other side. You would want to see a surgeon who specializes in craniofacial trauma.

Best of luck,

Thank you for your question.

I do not think that any surgeon would perform this procedure with NO anesthesia.  

Some surgeons use General Anesthesia, some surgeons perform the blepharoplasty surgery under local anesthesia.  

Do your research and make sure that you are comfortable with your surgeons experience with this procedure.  Ask to see before and after photos and even speak with other patients who have had this surgery performed.

Best Wishes!

Upper eyelid surgery is best done conservatively. Most patients want a natural look, and not  a "hollowed out" appearance for the eyes. For that reason it is good to leave some fat and even skin around the upper eye. If the skin is not crepy looking it is not necessarily a sign of age. In your case, it is impossible to say for sure without an in-person consultation. Good luck!
